Turkish breakfast, called kahvaltı, is a leisurely affair usually enjoyed on weekends by Turkish people – but you can eat it daily while on vacation in Türkiye.
Here are some of my favorite ‘kahvaltı’ Turkish breakfast food items to tantalize your tastebuds: – Sütlü Kahve – Simit – Menemen – Beyaz Peynir – Kaymak
Sütlü Kahve: The first thing you need to start your day with is Turkish coffee. Called sütlü kahve in Turkish, it is a traditional coffee drink made with finely ground coffee beans, water, and sugar.
Simit is a type of Turkish bagel that is covered in sesame seeds. It is often eaten for breakfast with honey or pekmezi. Simit can also be served filled with cheese or meat like a sandwich.
Poğaça is a savory fried pastry that is popular in Türkiye. It is typically made with a mixture of flour, water, salt, and yeast and then filled with either cheese or meat. Poğaça can be served as a main dish or as a side dish and is often eaten for breakfast.
Turkish Su Boregi is a delicious breakfast option for those who want something savory and cheesy. The flaky phyllo dough pairs perfectly with the creamy filling, making for a light and satisfying meal.
